So, another discoverer of Venetian Snares! I don't think there are many of us around here. The man is a monster - prolific as all hell, and covering a wide range of emotions and sense of humour, to the point where I don't even know if Rossz csillag alatt született and My Downfall are supposed to be serious, or are just a continuation of the joke. What I know, though, is that Songs About My Cats is a masterpiece, and other albums like Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding and Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardocre Pom Poms are nothing short of brilliant. And the Speedranch collaboration Making Orange Things has some of the most disgustingly hilarious electronic music ever, including the best cover of Stairway to Heaven the Residents never made.
I've also listened to the Coldplay album several times this year. I think it's their "we're trying to mature artistically!" album, and for the largest part they succeed; the album is neither too heavyhanded to become annoying, nor too lightweight to be forgettable. The title track, Death and All His Friends and Lovers in Japan are great songs, but there's one track in there that's specifically transcendental, and one that resonated in my soul in a way only Politik got close: Strawberry Swing. There's something so disarmingly pure about the way "Now the sky may be blue, I don't mind / Without you it's a waste of time" is sung that no pop band can hope to match easily.

Only thing is that Mike dont do anything than the guitar moments. That is all his touch you can hear if you know what i mean. But after all: its classic and orchestral
